Measurements of C, R, L, D (dissipation factor of capacitors), and Q are easily made with the Model 4260A Universal Impdeance Bridge.
The readout for C, R and L is digital with the decimal point automatically positioned. Units of measurement and the equivalent circuit automatically appear with a twist of the function switch. There are no multipliers or confusing non-linear dials which need interpolation.
Operation is simple. Set the function knob for the parameter to be measured, adjust the range switch for an on-scale indication, and obtain a null with the CRL control.
There are no interacting controls to adjust and readjust. There are no false nulls.
A unique electronic AUTOBALANCE circuit solves all these problems. Components with low Q or high Q are easy to measure as those without loss.
For D or Q measurements, switch out of AUTO and turn the DQ control until another null is obtained. Only one adjustment is needed for each measurement.
Five bridge ciruits are incorporated in the 4260A; each is composed of stable, high-quality components for good accuracy and linearity. In internal 1 kHz drives the bridge.
